>> thanks for inviting us into your homes tonight. next newscast at 6:00. tonight on "world news," explosive verdict. this judge spikes most of arizona's new immigration law. 100 days of oil. a milestone. what is the truth about the marshes now? the wildlife? the workers who were killed? staying alive. dr. besser shows us the big change in how you save a life. and, what might have been. a 78-year-old former janitor honored by the school that rejected her dream because of the color of her skin. good evening. after all these months, the anger, argument and fear, a federal judge in a phoenix courtroom blocked arizona's crackdown on illegal immigration.

it will not go into effect at the stroke of midnight tonight. but the emotional debate seems far from over. and bill weir has been with both sides in phoenix today. bill? >> reporter: that's right, diane. the judge in this courthouse behind me agreed with president obama today, that when it comes to america's borders and the people who cross them, it is the federal government who gets to call the shots. not arizona. >> reporter: there are more than a dozen parts to this new law, but today's injunction blocks the four most potent and controversy. those that make it a state crime to live and work in arizona without immigration papers. and those that require arizona cops to stop and check the status of anyone "reasonably suspicious" of being here illegally. >> by no means is the battle over. the next step will be a review in the united states court of appeals and ultimately, likely to the supreme court. >> reporter: the ruling comes from judge susan bolton, a clinton appointee, who in ten years on the federal bench earned a reputation for being meticulous and objective.

she writes that "there is a substantial likelihood that officers will wrongfully arrest legal resident aliens under the new law," and the surge in stops and arrests would "divert resources from the federal government's other responsibilities." while the latino community rejoiced in their victory, most of the state supports the law and some filled the airwaves with anger. >> when does it stop? when's enough enough? >> reporter: echoing their frustration with the feds, arizona's republican governor who vows the legal fight has just begun. >> we knew regardless of what happened today, of course one side or the other side was going to appeal. so, this begins the process. this is just an injunction, temporary injunction. >> reporter: and while his extra tents built to hold extra prisoners remain nearly empty, sheriff joe arpaio says they might be filled as he continues his controversial raids. >> if you come across someone speeding and we have certain criteria that that person is here illegally, we take action. >> reporter: lawsuits and injunctions also matter little at this day labor center. the anti-immigrant fervor has

made employers skittish, so men with and without papers spend most days literally praying for work. >> a lot of people are leaving, not so much because of the law, but because there's no jobs. they're moving over to new mexico. they're moving to chicago, they're moving to seattle, washington. they're, you know, they're going north. >> reporter: it is still illegal for a day laborer to wave down a car and impede traffic. also for mostly latino towns to create safe havens from federal immigration laws. but diane, the teeth of this law knocked out, at least for now. >> all right, bill, thanks to you. and i know you talked to some of them, but it's estimated that there are one half million undocumented immigrants who came to arizona illegally. and barbara pinto sought some more of them out today, along with the people who support the law and say these immigrants must leave. >> reporter: in a matter of minutes, relief replaced dread. hope replaced fear. in this latino neighborhood in central phoenix -- >> it's a happy emotion.

>> reporter: happy emotion? what goes through your mind? >> that it's going to get better and that there's hope. >> reporter: rosario peralta, who is here legally, watched customers at her family's grocery store disappear, frightened families moving out of state. this afternoon, some of them came back. >> i was really worried for all our customers, and it's been slow, but thank god, everything's good. >> reporter: in a conversation with diane sawyer yesterday, erica andiola, a recent college graduate, feared for her future. >> i want to stay here in this country. i mean, this is my home. >> reporter: she crossed the border with her mom, sister and brothers illegally when she was 11 years old, running from domestic abuse. >> yesterday, i went to bed really depressed. this morning, knowing this, everything came back. like, the hope, the faith, knowing that all those prayers are really working. >> reporter: but not everyone is happy. 60% of americans support arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants. support for the law is twice as high among whites than non

whites. >> i was in shock and a little bit disappointed. >> reporter: long-time phoenix resident andrew clark says he's seen the problem first-hand, working in the trucking business. >> just a consistent record of the federal government not doing anything, and that's disappointing. >> reporter: randy leads arizona's republican party. >> i think they're celebrating a little early. they might want to wait until the judge has heard all the arguments. >> reporter: the legal wrangling could take months, maybe years. a border war that is far from over. barbara pinto, abc news, phoenix. and moving on to other headlines tonight. three days after 92,000 documents were leaked about the war in afghanistan, a realization and a new fear. a closer review of the papers shows they contain the names of afghans who worked as u.s. sources, providing sensitive information to help. people whose lives may now be on the line, and here's martha raddatz. >> reporter: we are blurring the names of the informants, but al qaeda and the taliban have already been able to see them

on the wikileaks website. names of ordinary afghans who have risked their lives to help american forces and now could very well lose their lives. >> it's entirely possible that within days, weeks, people will be killed as a result of this kind of an exposure. >> reporter: there are numerous examples. the identity of a district chief of a village we won't name informed coalition forces that the taliban are planning to attack district offices soon. this one names a man who is trying to defect from the taliban and turned over a letter about taliban plans for attacks. and another one, the name of a local man who had gone to the u.s. military to tell them the name of a taliban leader responsible in a recent attack by "an estimated 100-plus taliban fighters" in response to u.s. operations. the head of wikileaks, 39-year-old australian julian assange, who has been outspoken

against the war, told "the today show" he blamed the military. >> every week, another 100 or so people are killed in afghanistan and that number is increasing. so, we shouldn't let these rumors about whether there are additional names in there or not, which may be serious or may not be, eclipse the bigger problem. >> amateurs like wikileaks either don't care or don't know how to protect sources and how to protect lives. >> reporter: the pentagon is going through all of the documents, as well, and local commanders will certainly try to do what they can to help those afghans who are at risk. but diane, because of the massive amount of reports, there's no guarantee they can get to the people in time. >> get to them and to their families to get them to safety. thank you, martha. and now, a milestone in the oil spill in the gulf. it is now 100 days. 100 days filled with images we'll never forget. the loss of life on the burning rig.

those first pictures of helpless birds. the dead turtles in the sand. the thick, black tar that washed up on the beach. so, where does it stand tonight? well, as we first reported monday, this week, hopeful signs. this was the size of the spill at its height one month ago. and this week, the oil seems to be quickly on the wane. jeffrey kofman returned today to check on the oil-soaked marsh he photographed two months ago. jeffrey? >> reporter: good evening, diane. you know, it was almost a month after the rig explosion we first saw oil come ashore in those remote marshes. today, to see where things stand on day 100, we went back to those same marshes again, and what we saw today was not what we expected to be seeing by now. as we began our journey on the mississippi on day 100, a surprising sight. that collection of skimmer boats assembled from across the country, sitting at anchor,.

apparently there's no oil to skim. are you heading back out to skim? >> we're not sure. we're just waiting for orders. >> reporter: we moved on. our destination, here, in the eastern marshes of the mississippi on may 18th that we waded ashore with maura wood to see the very first oil from the rig disaster make landfall. >> here's the problem. it's so sticky. >> reporter: today, as we made our way towards those same marshes, we saw no oil in the water. we saw oil boom, but no oil on it. this was my report on may 18th. but today, it's arrived. this is the exact spot i was kneeling in two months ago. a thick pool of oil right here. there's no sign of it now, though we are finding some signs of what looks like fresh oil. but at the time, it seemed like we were witnessing the leading edge of what was going to be an invasion of oil into these magnificent marshlands. it didn't happen. a little further on in the marshes that face the gulf, we found these workers replacing

oil boom. what's your report card on day 100? >> it's getting better every day. >> reporter: that is mike king. he has been doing oil response work across the gulf since the first week of this disaster. he says he hasn't seen oil come ashore for more than a month. >> in the beginning, i figured we'd be here two, three years. cleaning this up. >> reporter: you thought you'd be here two, three years. >> yeah. now i'm -- if we make it six to eight months, i'd be surprised. >> reporter: you know, diane, on day 100, we keep hearing this spill, this disaster, compared to the exxon valdez and we can compare the numbers of birds that have been oiled. here in the gulf, we're talking about a total of 2,800 birds. almost half of them have died. and while it's clear that one dead bird, one oiled bird is too many, compare that to exxon valdez spill in 1989, when more than a quarter million birds were killed. >> so, 2,800 birds. thank you, jeffrey.

and green chutes in the marshes. but of course, for 11 families, today is a painful reminder of 100 days without fathers, husbands, brothers, sons. those that died back on april 20th. by the way, the companies involved are still negotiating compensation. next, to california, a race is under way tonight to control two huge wildfires north of los angeles. more than 2,000 people have been forced to flee, and more than two dozen homes and buildings have been burned, as the fire scorched thousands of acres. and overseas in pakistan, an investigation is under way into the crash of an airbus jet today, which killed all 152 people on board. the plane was trying to land at an airport in islamabad in heavy rain and thick clouds. and the control tower warned the pilot he was veering offcourse, but he was quoted as saying "i can see the runway," and then the crash. our nick schifrin made his way

to the scene where the wreckage is scattered far and wide. >> reporter: we traveled toward the site of the destruction where generations of pakistanis have been killed. ashfan lost her whole family. "how would i know it would be our last good-bye," he says. this will give you a sense of the difficulties of getting to this crash site. it's now eight hours since the crash and that black spot there is part of the crash and rescue workers are just now getting to it. this is how they got to the site. a two to three-hour climb through the margallah hills. what they saw was horrific. "it was a scene out of doomsday," he tells us. "may god never show it to anyone else." >> and that was nick schifrin reporting from the scene in pakistan. still ahead on "world news," the new way to save a life. what you don't do can make all the difference. dr. besser shows us. and, honoring a dream thwarted by racism. watch this.
